Butterscotch Drop Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon baking powder (heaping)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup cold whipping cream, unwhipped (may need a little more)
1 large egg

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a bowl sift flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
Add in very cold butter pieces and rub between fingers until coarse meal forms.
In a small cup or bowl whisk together the cream and egg.
Add to the butter/flour mixture with the baking chips and toss with a fork just until the dough comes together in moist clumps (add in more whipping cream if dough seems dry).
Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls onto a large lightly greased baking sheet, spacing apart.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
Best served warm.
